Participants

Reaction Steps

1-(8-tert-Butyl-4-methyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzo[1,4]oxazin-6-yl)ethanone (250 mg, purchased from Chembiotek, India) was heated to from 50° C. to 55° C. in a mixture of acetic acid (4 ml) and toluene (8 ml). At this temperature, bromine (200 mg dissolved in acetic acid) was cautiously added dropwise. After 2.5 h, the heating was removed, and the mixture was admixed at RT with ice-water and extracted three times with toluene. The combined organic phases were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The crude product was purified using silica gel, so as to obtain 65 mg of the desired compound, as well as a further 43 mg of product which was slightly contaminated and 37 mg of reactant.
